Elasticsearch User ConferenceIt's on: We're hosting the single largest gathering of Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana expertise anywhere in the world - and we want you to join us.

From Elasticsearch newcomers to the people who loved the products before a company formed around them, we're continuing the conversation about data exploration done differently.

Show up to swap stories, learn from other users, hear from the project creators, dive into product demos, and get insight into upcoming announcements and our roadmap. And when it's all over, leave with everything you need to go do great things.

This is a community event underwritten and managed by The Linux Foundation and co-located with the Collaboration Summit. This invitation-only workshop brings together developers and researchers interested in implementing improvements to the Linux filesystem and storage subsystems that will find their way into the mainline kernel and Linux distributions in the next 24-48 months. The workshop is two days and will include filesystem and storage tracks and some combined plenary sessions. Past sponsors include: Google, NetApp, EMC, Panasas, Seagate and Oracle.

EclipseCon 2015 North America will be held March 9 - 12 in sunny California at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport. (While we can't promise anything, the weather for last year's conference in Burlingame was beautiful!)

EclipseCon is about sharing best practices, insights, case studies, and innovations in the Eclipse community and in the wider world of software development. We want attendees to be educated and inspired after each talk. We love talks about new ways of using Eclipse technology, new ways to be a better software developer, or an introduction to a new open source project. Less inspiring are talks about a new Eclipse project release that most attendees can read in a new-and-noteworthy document.

This year's FOSS4G NA conference is a collaborative effort involving OSGeo and LocationTech. The conference provides opportunities for the FOSS4G community to learn, explore, share, and collaborate on the latest ideas and information.

FOSS4G is all about community. Contributors, adopters, users, extenders, teachers, service providers, consumers and business and research organizations gather to share their expertise and learn from each other. FOSS4G delivers camaraderie and networking opportunities that lead to synergies in the community, as well as opportunities to give and receive help on specific technical issues or to generate business opportunities.

Data, file systems and storage are at the heart of today’s computing environment, with innovation needed to accommodate the need for more data storage capability, at faster speeds with today’s newest hardware. Linux has been at the center of these advances with its widespread use in cloud computing, big data and other data-intensive computing workloads.

The Linux Foundation is launching a new conference called Vault to bring together the leading developers in file systems and storage in the Linux kernel with related projects to forge a path to continued innovation and education.

Intended Audience

Vault will cover topics that impact a wide variety of individuals, companies, and organizations, but will be of particular interest to:
